The Grateful Dead - It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Copied!

You must leave now take what you need, you think will last
Whatever you wish to keep, you'd better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
He’s crying like a fire in the sun

Look out, all those saints are coming through
And it's all over now, baby Blue

The highway is for gamblers, you'd better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed fainter(painter) on your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on the sheets

Sky too is fallin’ over you
And it's all over now, baby Blue

All your sea-sick sailros, they are rowin' homе
Your empty-handed army is all goin' home
Your lovеr who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from your door

The carpet too is movin' under you
And it's all over now, baby Blue

Leave all your stepping stones behind, there something calls for you
Forget about the dead you left, they will not follow you
The only bond(vagabond) who's rappin' at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
Cause it’s all over now, baby Blue
Cause it’s all over now, baby Blue
Cause it's all over now, baby Blue
Cause it’s all over now, baby Blue

edit bio

Amidst the growing counter-culture scene in the San Francisco Bay Area, The Grateful Dead were founded by lead guitarist/vocalist Jerry Garcia, bass player Phil Lesh, rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, keyboardist Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and drummer Bill Kreutzmann in Palo Alto in 1965, originally as The Warlocks. Percussionist Mickey Hart later joined the group in 1967 and other members cycled through the group in following years as the core remained intact. Their eclectic music formed the archetype for the “Jam Band” genre, combining elements from rock, blues, folk, country, bluegrass, and psychedelic music into improvisational performances.

Over the years the Dead released 22 recorded albums, although they were most famous for their improvisational jams at concerts, earning them a cult-like following of self-proclaimed “Dead Heads” who would follow the band from concert-to-concert throughout the band’s career.

The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and they’ve sold more than 40 million albums in total; all that with only one top 40 hit (“Truckin”), and one Top 10 hit (“Touch of Grey”) that came near the end of the band’s run, shortly before Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. Grateful Dead was also ranked 57th in Rolling Stone’s “The Greatest Artists of All Time” issue in 2004 and 2005. Since then, various incarnations of the Dead have continued to tour, although a 2015 farewell tour was said to be the band’s last.

In 2015 Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann started a new group called Dead and Company with John Mayer, Allman Brothers bassist Oteil Burbridge, and former Dead keyboardist Jeff Chimenti which Weir has said may have a future in the studio and will continue to tour in coming years.

In 2008, The Grateful Dead named the University of California, Santa Cruz McHenry Library as the home of their complete archival history, including their recorded music, live bootlegs, and artworks. The collections are are now housed at UC Santa Cruz.
